Westerlo Team News
Westerlo has eight wins, seven losses, and two draws this season. They could have been better, but they allowed their opponents to score as many as 30 goals. That puts their defense on par with the bottom-of-the-table teams. They enter the match with Antwerp slightly injured. Midfielders Lucas van Eenoo and Jan Bernat will not be ready for this match.
This team took a month’s break for the World Cup, playing only one friendly match. In the game against Istanbul Basaksehir, they were not good enough and lost 2:1. They went on a break after a lot of ups and downs in form. In the last five games have had two wins, two losses, and one draw. This kind of form is typical for a team from the middle of the table. They won the game before the break against Oostende with a score of 6:0, while before that, they were defeated by Genk 1:0 at home.
Antwerp Team News
Antwerp has the second-best defensive record in the league, with just 17 goals conceded this season. Of these 17, only nine were conceded away from home in the eight games played. They are in third place in the Belgian Pro League and are 11 points behind first-placed Genk.
After the break, they played one match in the Cup against Standard, where they won 4:1. They went on a break after a streak of four games without a win. They drew against Club Brugge 2:2 and Anderlecht 0:0. Two consecutive defeats came from Charleloi 1:0 and Genk 3:1. Antwerp has a little staffing problem here. In the next matches, they will miss the left back of the United States national team, Samuel Vines, who suffered an injury in a recent training session, and there will be no Faris Haroun in the middle either. It shouldn’t significantly affect Antwerp’s performance, but it could leave a mark.
H2H
Antwerp had a little better luck in the last four matches they played. Last time they won 3:0. Before that, Westerlo had one victory of 2:1, and twice these two clubs played a draw. Both times it was 1:1.
